FROM ABOVE

angels live among us. divine creatures from a holy realm, cast out by their God for committing a crime or breaking the rules, they have been exiled and condemned to live among the mortal and coexist as one of them. to be human doesn't come without a price, however, which is why they must consume from those who have the potential to exterminate their kind. legends of vampires have risen from the way they hunt, digging sharp teeth into the necks of men and children to consume their blood and life energy, so that they can maintain their guise. when the angels run low on this energy, their being begins to dissipate around them, black strings of ooze clinging to everything it can, trying to drain its life force.

there are various ranks of angels. those that stand at the highest - the Divine - take on a human shape. The Guardians, lower ranks with the job to protect the Divine, are usually seen in the shape of canines. Finally there are Watchers, seers of the future who take on the shape of songbirds, warning the Divine of dangers to come.

there exist various clans and factions of these angels. some consider humans little more than dirt and source of energy; others virtually worship them as the source of their life force; some reject their divinity; some hunt their own kind and some sort of penitence for their own sins. the few humans that know about their existence have come to either form cults to worship and serve them, or organized themselves into angel hunters to wipe this menace from their home.

FROM ABOVE is a character-oriented verse with potential for all sorts of characters. You can organize them into clans, families, groups, or simply make your own loner. humans and angels are welcome, come up with whatever you desire and roll with it.

do they have powers? what kinda powers?

do some consider themselves guardian angels aka creepy stalkers aka edward cullen? do their skin glisten?

what are they weaknesses

what would be a crime/sin in their universe

disrespecting their Father, attempting harm against one another, attempting harm against mankind. the seven deadly sins apply to them as well.

morality issues, where are they

morality issues may vary. some angels struggle with what they have to do, some have rejected their origins completely to indulge in their new condition as BLOOD DRINKERS. you can go all out with sins or penitence.

did they have genders in their original form

not physically, but their identity as humans allows them to choose. you can say an angel is the human equivalent of genderqueer or genderless in our terms.

do they have powers? what kinda powers?

powers you'd associate with vampires. they are not mortal in the same way humans are. they gain their energy through feeding on human blood. they have keener senses, they're stronger than your average, etc. they can have slight mind control but they can't do things like fly anymore. no godmoding allowed.

do some consider themselves guardian angels aka creepy stalkers aka edward cullen? do their skin glisten?

depends on your angel, so yes. and no.

what are their weaknesses

imagine Howl from Howl's Moving Castle melting into a puddle of goo. That's sort of what happens when they go too long without feeding, except their goo is a deadly set of black string-y ooze that sets roots and reaches out to absorb any life energy it can. it's some freaky body horror shit. they can be killed by normal instruments, but they don't age or fall ill.

no godmod and no skin of a killer? what kind of shitty verse is this
im out

thank god
